The Godfather Part II (1974)
IMDB-9 (Top 250: #3)
RottenTomatoes-98
RJG Rating-90


Starring-Al Pacino,Robert Duvall,Diane Keaton,Robert De Niro
Director-Francis Ford Coppola

Godfather Part2,continues the story of Michael Corleone as he expands his business but slowly descends into evil.It also tells the story of his father Vito Corleone and how he became a Godfather.
Godfather 2 is a very legendary movie and is ranked by many as the One of the Greatest Movies of All Time.Many say that its greater than its first part ,The Godfather.



But unfortunately i cant agree with all that.Even though its excellent and a great sequel ,i felt that the movie was too long.What interested me most was the flashback story of Vito Corleone.The story too was a bit simple and plain compared to the first part.In the acting department Al Pacino was great,but Robert De Niro as Vito was the best.He really gave the character the personality and soul of the Godfather.

But all in all,Godfather 2 is a must-watch movie.
